To finish! Twitter launches edit feature - Here's how to find out if you're eligible

Soon, the days of deleting Tweets after noticing a typo or guessing late-night sentiment will be over — finally rolling out a long-awaited editing feature, the company announced Thursday .

Testing has already begun internally for Twitter employees, and the edition is expected to roll out to paying Twitter Blue subscribers by the end of the month.

Twitter Blue users pay $4.99 per month to access the platform's premium features.

The company posted messages on its own platform informing users that the change was on the way.

Users will have 30 minutes after sending a Tweet to edit their Tweet via an 'Edit' icon on the published post. Edited Tweets will be tagged with a tag and timestamp to indicate that a Tweet has been edited, and clicking that tag will bring up the Tweets edit history.

So even though the new Tweet will appear in users' feeds, the original unmodified Tweet will still be accessible.

The rollout of the edit button will place Twitter among other social media giants like Facebook and Instagram that have long offered editing features for posts and captions.

"As this is our most requested feature to date, we wanted to both update you on our progress and let you know that even if you are not part of a test group , anyone will still be able to see if a Tweet has been edited," the company clarified in a blog post.

On April 1, Twitter announced that it was testing an editing feature.

Elon Musk, who is currently at war with Twitter over his bid to back out of his $44 billion bid to buy the company, polled his followers three days later to find out whether or not they thought Twitter should have an edit button. Overwhelmingly, nearly 74% said yes.

Musk officially made his offer 21 days later.

Thursday's announcement sparked mixed feelings among Twitter users, with many fearing the feature would "ruin" Twitter and its permanence.

Twitter didn't say when the feature would roll out to all users, but said the company would "grow" by studying the results of the initial rollout to "learn and observe how people use Edit Tweet."

Twitter was down more than 41% year-over-year on Thursday afternoon.
